Terms and Conditions of Tournament Participation 2018

Participants in Golf4Fun tournaments must be able to provide a valid Golf Club membership and up to date HCP certificate at any Golf4Fun tournament. Golf4Fun doesn’t not provide HCP tracking/updates. All participants must have a membership of an official golf club in 2018 which is governed by the golf association of that jurisdiction; your chosen golf club will provide those services to maintain your HCP based on tournament results (ranking lists) over time. In the event of membership of a golf club outside of Switzerland, a golf HCP certificate from your golf club will be required if this is your 1st tournament event with Golf4Fun in the current year.

Reservation is based on a first come first served basis; register early to avoid disappointment!

Reservation is only confirmed after receipt of payment up to the maximum number of places per tournament.

Registration for a specific tournament can only be done by filling in all the required information on the supplied registration form on the website (www.golf4fun.ch).

Guests are welcome to join on tournament days; they must be pre-announced (by email to the organizer at least 7 days in advance of the tournament); In the event a guest joins for the apero then the costs for the apero must be paid in advance (costs will be advised by the organizer on email together with the payment details).

Players may be required to provide proof of HCP to the club on the morning of the tournament. Ensure you have your 2018 membership card (showing your starting HCP for 2018 at minimum) with you, or a print out from your clubs membership system which proves your current HCP. This remains the players’ responsibility. ASG Golfcard Migros members must have a full membership.

The player is responsible for letting the golf club know (on the morning of the tournament when they pick up their scorecard), if their HCP has changed since registration. Ensure your HCP and home club details are correct on the official Starting List. If not, have the secretariat at the golf club adjust your scorecard before heading out to the 1st tee
